Ignoring the well-known phrase ‘if something goes well, don’t touch it’, the organizers of the Formentera Jazz Festival have taken advantage of the 11th edition of this event to go a little further, to launch themselves into the adventure and multiply the stages where they present their music. This is how they explained it this Tuesday Maxwell Moya, Guilherme de Anchieta and Juanjo Rodríguez during the press conference in which they presented this year’s novelties, among them the performance of the youth orchestra Rhythm of the island, composed of music students from Formentera between seven and 12 years old who will be going on stage for the first time on Saturday 7th at 1 pm at Sa Panxa, in Sant Ferran.
